In the 'Snape protects young Harry fanfiction', how does Snape's protection influence Harry's growth?

Well, he might use his magic skills. Maybe he creates some protective spells around Harry to keep the werewolf at bay. For example, a strong shielding charm that can withstand the werewolf's attacks.

In the fanfiction, Snape could protect Harry from Dumbledore by using his skills in potions. For example, he might create a potion that hides Harry's magical signature from Dumbledore's detection. Or he could use his knowledge of the Dark Arts to counter any spells or charms that Dumbledore might use to keep tabs on Harry. Snape is very intelligent and resourceful, so he could find various ways to physically and magically shield Harry from Dumbledore.

He also influences her morally. Snape, with his own complex moral code, makes Fem Harry think about right and wrong in different ways. He might show her that there are gray areas in the wizarding world. For instance, when dealing with enemies, he might teach her that sometimes understanding their motives can be more important than immediate retaliation. Snape's own experiences, especially his relationship with Lily, might also make him instill in Fem Harry the importance of loyalty and sacrifice. In many fanfictions, we see Snape as a strict but fair figure in Fem Harry's life, guiding her through the often - treacherous waters of the Hogwarts social and magical environment.

One common reason could be his love for Lily. Since Harry is Lily's son, Snape might feel an obligation to protect him out of his undying love for her. It's like he's trying to preserve a part of Lily that still exists in the world through Harry.

However, as the story progresses, Harry may start to understand the reasons behind Snape's actions. He could become more resigned and accept the punishment as a part of his growth. He might use the experience to become more cautious in his actions and more respectful of the rules.

In some fanfictions, Snape might use his advanced knowledge of potions to brew a special healing elixir for Harry. He could also use his magic skills, like a complex spell specifically designed to mend Harry's wounds, whether they are physical or emotional.

Snape could be in shock. He might freeze for a moment, unable to believe what is happening. His face would show a mixture of horror and disbelief as he holds Harry's dying body.

Snape's character often develops from a cold and aloof figure to a more caring and nurturing one. At first, he might be hesitant and gruff, but as he spends more time with Harry, his protective instincts kick in. He starts to show more patience and understanding, which is a big change from his usual self in the original series.

In these fanfictions, Snape's development can be quite complex. At first, he may see baby Harry as just a reminder of his lost love and his nemesis. However, as he is forced to interact with the baby, he might start to realize that Harry is his own person. This could lead to him becoming more protective. He might also start to question his long - held grudges and become a more empathetic person. He could even start to teach baby Harry small things, which in turn makes him more patient and understanding.

Another way Snape could comfort Harry is by standing up for him in certain situations. Maybe when other teachers or students are being unfair to Harry, Snape steps in and defends him. This act of protection can be a great source of comfort for Harry, as it shows that someone is on his side even if they have had a rocky relationship in the past.
